The National Hurricane Center's (NHC) hurricane forecast for October 12 said Tropical Storm Leslie has weakened but the NHC is monitoring a system in the eastern tropical Atlantic.
The system, several hundred kilometers west of the Cabo Verde Islands, off the west coast of Africa, is moving west and could develop into a tropical depression. The NHC forecasts a 40% resilience until at least mid-next week.
AccuWeather forecasters say the storm could form between Oct. 17 and 19 in the western Caribbean, where Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton formed.
A areas of tornadoes are expected to form over Central America next week. "From this large, slow-moving low pressure area, a more obvious area of showers and thunderstorms could form, from which a tropical depression or tropical storm could develop," said AccuWeather hurricane expert Alex DaSilva.
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has more than seven weeks left to end, typically from June 1 to November 30. So far this season, 13 named storms have been named. The next storms to form will be named Nadine and Oscar.
After about five relatively quiet weeks, the 2024 hurricane season especially with the arrival of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton has become an above-average hurricane season, according to Colorado State University meteorologist Phil Klotzbach.
